Boneless beef short ribs (sometimes called country-style ribs) require long, slow cooking to tenderize them, making them a perfect candidate for the slow cooker.
Ingredients
Fat free sour cream
6 Tbsp
Store-bought horseradish
2 Tbsp
Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp
Table salt
¾ tsp
Uncooked trimmed beef short rib
1¼ pound(s), boneless, trimmed of all visible fat and cut into 11⁄2-inch chunks
Black pepper
½ tsp, freshly ground
Onion
2 medium, sliced
Uncooked white potato
1 pound(s), whole, scrubbed
Baby carrots
18 medium, about 1 1⁄2 cups
Garlic
2 clove(s), chopped
Bay leaf
1 leaf/leaves
Canned beef broth
1 cup(s), low sodium
Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp
All-purpose flour
3 Tbsp
Water
3 Tbsp, cold
Fresh parsley
1 Tbsp, flat-leaf, chopped
Instructions
1
To prepare the horseradish cream, combine the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
2
Sprinkle the ribs with the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and cook, turning once, until browned, about 8 minutes.
3
Transfer the ribs to a slow cooker. Add the onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic, and bay leaf. Pour the broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat and vegetables. Cover and cook until the meat and vegetables are fork-tender, 4–5 hours on high or 8–10 hours on low.
4
About 20 minutes before the cooking time is up, combine the flour and water in a small bowl until smooth; stir in about 1⁄4 cup of the hot liquid from the slow cooker until blended. Stir the flour mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high, until the mixture simmers and thickens, about 15 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Stir in the parsley just before serving. Serve with the horseradish cream. Yields 2 cups stew and 2 tablespoons horseradish cream per serving.
